  • Rondo doesn't believe in easy buckets...
Danny should jump all over this. I'd much rather him then Turiaf. I'd imagine Hickson will still be looking for cash and a nice city since he's still young. I don't know if he'll be in our price range, but we should absolutely be in pursuit.

Wow, I'm shocked by this.

Does Hickson need to pass through waivers now? Who's in a position to pick him up?

Danny had better be working the phones fast because I imagine OKC or the Bulls just about any contender will be all over him.

And to think that just a couple of years ago he was the reason why the Cavs failed to get Amare.

Why didn't Sacramento trade him before the deadline? I have no doubt they could have gotten at the very least a 2nd rounder and cash from someone.

John Schuhmann:

Curious to see what happens w/ Hickson. A lot of teams could claim him w/ cap space or a trade exception worth $2.4M or more.

about 9 minutes ago

Celtics have neither the cap space nor a TE that size. I'm skeptical he'll pass waivers.
